My First REAL Hockey Project

[Sly]

So, since I got back into Hockey a few months ago, I've just been busting wax, not really with any goal in mind...but I've now come up with one.

I'm going to put together the "Master" set of Bruins from the 2009-10 Upper Deck set.

According to Upperdeck.com, the following are listed as Bruins:

GJ-CN Cam Neely UD Game Patch (GU) 15
GJ-MF Manny Fernandez UD Game Patch (GU) 15
GJ-PB Patrice Bergeron UD Game Patch (GU) 15

I probably won't include the Larman auto as it actually pictures him in a Panthers uniform, and still debating about the Clearly Canadians as obviously they're not shown in a B's uniform either...and people have ridiculous BINs for those ($50 and $100).

Otherwise, it may not be too spendy if the stuff ever shows up.

I did pick up a few of the Exclusive last night, so we'll see what happens, and the inserts shouldn't be too tough to pick up.

If anyone sees any of the low-numbered things around, please let me know! I'll post scans as I get things in.

Thanks

EDIT: Figure I'll go ahead and cross things off as I find them...will scan all I've got when my next ebay shipment comes in.

 

[pghbuccos]

sounds like a fun project Sly. have fun and make sure you keep us updated with scans. I will definitely be on the lookout out for any low numbered cards for you.

Hey now!!! No Bruins trash-talking allowed!!!!

Thanks, but I actually just picked up the Wideman last night on ebay (along with a few other cards). If you run across any others, let me know!

 

[Hwilensky]

I'll keep an eye out for ya.

 

[G $MONEY$]

Good luck getting the high glossy's, these are the most popular parallels in all of Hockey (imo of course) and some go for a fair sum, especially the real popular players, as these are player collector must have cards. Does Boston have any young guns in series 1??

 

[Hwilensky]

I think they have only one young gun, Byron Bitz.

 

[lumm0x]

Best of luck with the set completion!

Looking forward to your B's and my Flyers in the Winter Classic this year. Too bad the Flyers are spiraling downward into disaster this year ::facepalm::

Yeah, just Bitz. We'll see how it goes getting those, if they ever show.

There was a Kessel that sold for $15 via Best Offer about two weeks ago...so that's not too bad...if they are all around that price, it shouldn't be too bad.

Should be fun regardless to attempt.

Scored a few of the Exclusives today, including this one:

Will scan all together when they arrive...

Missed out an a Bourque this morning, but was able to get this one:

Still waiting on stuff to arrive, but will scan all when they're here.
